She has been in the horse business since her teens.
Late 1990s had 14 stations and did lots of stud service. 45 Acre farm. Had as many as ten people working for them. 2003 started getting burned out on horse breeding business. Went to a workshop and caught the bug. Bought a film camera. Back country Yellowstone tours. Was “possessed with photography”.
Known for wildlife and bird photography. Polar bears in Canada. Now, it’s horses, bears, and birds. Sold the farm, but works at the farm part-time as part of the purchase agreement. Breeding crashed 2008 and has diminished a lot.
Today in your photography business. She is in two galleries. She does instruction. Portrait work is word of mouth. 50% or more of her portraits are horse and rider or owner and pet portraits. Connects a lot with people through Facebook. Workshops and tours are mainly equine related.
Workshops are one day from dawn to dusk.
Poems Art and World Art represent about 15% of her income.
Enjoys much of what she does. #1 Horses, #2 Nature, If I could do workshops every day, it’s what I love to do.
Doing an Icelandic horse tour and workshop in Iceland.
